This is the knitted Dan Carter from the Woolly Walk Along knitted graffiti exhibition that graced Devonport Wharf in Auckland during the Rugby World Cup. Knitted Dan received world wide newspaper and internet coverage when he was stolen during the first week of the Rugby World Cup (he was pinched by drunk rugby fans and kicked into the sea). This particular Dan is one that was knitted to replace the stolen Dan. He modelled a sad face and an ow on his leg when real Dan got his injury and got a big smile back on his face when the ABs won the cup. He has now been removed from the wharf and attached to a block of wood which has been signed by both Richie McCaw and (the real) Dan Carter. Knitted Dan was a well loved part of the Woolly Walk Along exhibit (possibly because of his knitted pecs and tight black undies) and will make any Dan fan very happy. Please note that he has spent 5 weeks outdoors and although he's still looking pretty good, he's not brand new. All proceeds from this auction and the other Woolly Walk Along listings (see sellers other listings) will be going to Christchurch. The Woolly Walk Along is an outdoor knitted graffiti exhibit which was the idea of and was organised by Knitty Graffity.
